DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure is described in the following with embodiments, so that one skilled in the art can easily understand the present disclosure.

It should be noted that all the drawings are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Various modification and variations can be made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. Further, terms used in the specification are merely for illustrative purpose and should not be construed to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

FIGS. 1A-1E are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for fabricating an electronic component in accordance with a first embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein FIGS. 1F, 1G and 1H are different embodiments of FIG. 1E. The first embodiment may be achieved within four photo engraving processes (PEP4).

As shown in FIG. 1A, a first metal layer 11 is formed on a carrier 10, a dielectric layer 12 is formed on the first metal layer 11, and a semiconductor layer 13 is formed on the dielectric layer 12. In an embodiment, the first metal layer 11 is made of a conductive material, such as Mo, Al, Ti, Cu or other alloys, or has a multi-layer stack structure formed by the materials. In an embodiment, the dielectric layer 12 is made of SiOx, SiNx, SiON or other suitable insulating materials, or has a multi-layer stack structure formed by the materials. In an embodiment, the semiconductor layer 13 is made of amorphous-Si, polycrystalline silicon or oxide semiconductor (such as InGaZnO (IGZO) system, InSnO (ITO) system, InZnO (IZO) system, InSnZnO (ITZO) system, or other semiconductor systems comprising oxygen or organic semiconductor (such as pentacene, pentacene derivatives, poly(3-hexyl thiophene), or derivatives of poly(3-hexyl thiophene), etc.).

As shown in FIG. 1B, the semiconductor layer 13 is patterned to form a semiconductor layer 13′.

As shown in FIG. 1C, a protection layer 14 is optionally formed on the dielectric layer 12 and encapsulates the semiconductor layer 13′, and a patterning process is performed such that the first metal layer 11, the dielectric layer 12 and the protection layer 14 have consistent peripheral patterns. The semiconductor layer 13′ may have a range smaller than a range of the first metal layer 11. The protection layer 14 protects the semiconductor layer 13′ from being damaged. However, the protection layer 14 is not necessary matter. For instance, if a back channel etching (BCE) is performed subsequently, no protection layer 14 is formed; if the product has a channel protect (CHP) structure, a protection layer 14 is formed. In an embodiment, the protection layer 14 is made of oxide compounds with insulating property, nitride or carbon compound system (such as SiOx, SiNx, SiCO, AlOx, TiOx, etc.), or has a multi-layer stack structure formed by the materials.

As shown in FIG. 1D, a flexible layer 15 is formed on the carrier 10 and the protection layer 14, and encapsulates the first metal layer 11, the dielectric layer 12, and the semiconductor layer 13′. The flexible layer 15 has a Young's modulus less than 40 GPa. At least one first opening 16 is formed that penetrates the flexible layer 15 and the protection layer 14. A portion of the semiconductor layer 13′ is exposed from the first opening 16. In an embodiment, the flexible layer 15 is made of an organic material system such as polyimide (PI) or the derivatives thereof, or a spin on glass (SOG) system, etc. In an embodiment, at least one second opening 18 is formed that penetrates the flexible layer 15, the protection layer 14 and the dielectric layer 12. A portion of the first metal layer 11 is exposed from the second opening 18.

As shown in FIG. 1E, at least one second metal layer 17 is formed on the flexible layer 15 and in the first opening 16 and/or the second opening 18 and electrically connected with the semiconductor layer 13′ and/or the first metal layer 11. In this embodiment, for example, a capacitor is formed on the left side, a bottom-gate thin film transistor is formed in the middle portion, and a contact hole is formed on the right side. In an embodiment, the second metal layer 17 is made of a conductive material, such as Mo, Al, Ti, or Cu or the alloys thereof, or has a multi-layer stack structure formed by the materials.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1F, if the subsequent process does not affect the semiconductor layer 13′, it may be applicable not to form a protection layer 14, wherein the first metal layer 11 and the dielectric layer 12 have consistent patterns.

Alternatively, it may be applicable to expose the protection layer 14 on the semiconductor layer 13′, as shown in FIG. 1G.

As shown in FIG. 2, a cross-sectional view of an electronic component in accordance with a second embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that an additional second metal layer 17 is disposed on one side, penetrates the flexible layer 15, the protection layer 14 and dielectric layer 12, and is electrically connected with the first metal layer 11 of the thin film transistor. A semiconductor protection layer 19 is deposited or coated on the semiconductor layer 13′, and has the same pattern as the semiconductor layer 13′. The semiconductor protection layer 19 protects the top surface of the semiconductor layer 13′, and protects the semiconductor layer 13′ from being damaged by chemicals, for example, to enhance the stability of the electronic components. Providing with the semiconductor protection layer 19 is applicable in any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, it is also applicable to not forming the protection layer 14.

The structure of the foregoing embodiments may be applied for different combinations of the circuits formed by a plurality of thin film transistors, which is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, 4A to 4D, and 5A to 5D.

FIGS. 6A-6D are cross-sectional views of an electric component in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6A to 6D, a capacitor and a contact hole are formed on the left side and the right side, respectively. The capacitor has one end electrically connected to the second metal layer 17 of the contact hole formed on the right side via the first metal layer 11 (bottom electrode), and the other end electrically connected to the semiconductor layer 13′ via the second metal layer 17. The first metal layer 11 and the dielectric layer 12 have consistent peripheral patterns.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are cross-sectional views of an electronic component in a related art and an electronic component in accordance with a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the thick-gate thin film transistor structure is mainly applied in large-size displays or circuits, through increasing the thickness of the gate electrode to reduce the voltage drop resulted from the resistance of the gate electrode. When incorporating thick-gate structure in the thin film transistor of a related art, the increased thickness of the gate insulating layer prevents electric leakage or defect as a result of poor cladding (shown as the dashed circle area in FIG. 7A), may cause the capacitance to be too small and require a larger capacitor area, the disposing area of the overall circuit layout is adversely affected.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the thin film transistor of the seventh embodiment is provided with a thicker (for example, more than 350 nanometers) first metal layer 11 (thick gate electrode) and a thinner (for example, less than 250 nanometers) dielectric layer 12 (gate electrode insulating layer).

The first metal layer 11 and the dielectric layer 12 may be continuously growing and patterned, and therefore do not have the problem of poor cladding. The introduced flexible layer 15 may be applied using a solution process to form a thickness larger than the thickness of the first metal layer 11, to produce a great cladding effect. The first metal layer 11 and the second metal layer 17 are separated by the flexible layer 15, the parasitic capacitance may be reduced and the resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may be enhanced.
